This 3D-printed postmastectomy bra could be the next best breast prosthesis. Here’s how the technology works.
Tal was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in the fall of 2019. She underwent chemotherapy, a mastectomy, and whole breast radiation.
Tal wasn’t a candidate for reconstructive surgery, because radiation thinned her skin and reduced its elasticity. Determined to move on and regain confidence, she tried her first breast prosthesis at a hospital.
“It was knitted and looked like a pillow,” she says. “It made me laugh because it looked nothing like a real breast.”
